Drew's Foundation bindings for Rust

This library binds (some subset of) Apple Foundation to Rust. It may be compared to objc-foundation and cocoa-foundation.

Part of the objr expanded universe, distinctive features of foundationr:

• Zero-cost abstractions. Calling this library should perform identically to calling Foundation from Swift/ObjC applications.
  • Most of the magic happens in objr or blocksr which provide cutting-edge high-performance primitives which are used here extensively.
• Fast enumeration. This avoids the need to use the ObjC runtime to do something like enumerate many objects.
• Safe APIs. Where possible APIs are designed with safe abstractions to provide familiar guarantees to Rust developers
• Low-level. These bindings assume familiarity with Foundation APIs and are not documented separately.
• Modular. Foundation is a big library; individual features are gated with feature flags
• Free for noncommercial or "small commercial" use.

Table of features

The scope of this project is to implement "all of foundation", however, in practice, I mostly have time to implement APIs I actually use in other projects.

The following cargo features are currently supported, and provide at least some APIs on each type:

Core types

• nsstring
• nsdata
• nsdictionary
• nsvalue
• nsrange
• nsdate
• nsnenumerator
• nsarray
• nsattributedstring

Runtime

• nscopying

System

• nsthread
• nsnotification
• nsrunloop

HTTP and URLs

• nsurl
• nsurlresponse
• nsurlrequest
• nsurlsession

Other

• all - enables all other features
